Hello,
I'm new to working with Windows and hit some problems trying to install a
Perl script as a service under Windows 7. Specifically CreateService() would
return false indicating an error but the error string from
Win32::FormatMessage( Win32::Daemon::GetLastError() ) indicated there was no
error, like this: Failed to add service: The operation completed
successfully.
This was difficult to troubleshoot but ultimately I was able to successfully
install a service once I ran CreateService() inside a cygwin instance that
was launched "as administrator" - it wasn't immediately obvious in the docs
that this is a requirement but it probably should be.
Cheers,
Tyler
